HERE by Nokia is… here and with it comes what Nokia is calling ‘LiveSight’. It is the technology behind Nokia City Lens and what Nokia is pushing hard with their location services.

Nokia:

After type pads, touchscreens and voice recognition, we want sight recognition to be another standard way to interact with the world around you. But it’s not only about sight recognition; it’s also about live map information. In one word, it’s… LiveSight. Nokia City Lens, developed exclusively for Nokia Lumia devices, is the first application providing a LiveSight-enabled experience.

LiveSight is a collection of mechanisms:

3D sight interface: buildings are detected by our collection technologies with high accuracy and feeling of depth

Line of sight: with the line of sight view, only POIs in sight are displayed

Freeze frame: save a live view to inspect the city without having to hold the camera pointed at the target
